Broadband: The same but different

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Since I am traveling outside of my comfort zone in about 24 hours, I have been looking to see if the things that are offered where I am going are the same as here. This search has taken me to websites about Broadband ISP services around the world. I was really shocked to find that AOL offers a Broadband UK package. There are also a bunch of service providers that I don’t recognize that offer comparable services overseas.

I am not visiting a foreign country, as it were, even though their major language is not English. I found out that they, too, have broadband. With all the mountains, I would think it to be nearly impossible to do. Broadband Internet has pretty much taken over. I wouldn’t be surprised if they DID get the service into the rain forests or even throughout the deserts.

HD-DVD Crack and Digg controversy not over

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

A famous movie once said “The Battle for Helm’s Deep is over. The War for Middle Earth is about to begin” (LOTR).

That’s the scenario on Digg today after revolution that got many users banned and a story buried. It seems that since the HD-DVD crack for Linux users has been posted, Digg has been inundated with blog posts about it. Since then, the owners of Digg were served with a cease a desist order. It’s a good thing that they listened to their patrons and decided to go down fighting, if they must go down at all. Already an army is forming to support Digg and their decision not to remove all stories relating to this debacle. I fathom that all users who have been banned will be reinstated, the stories that were removed put back, and the war will begin.

btw the code is 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 heehee!
